The Veterinary Information Network (VIN) reports that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received more than 600 complaints in just the first five-and-a-half months of this year.

Media attention also alerted some pet owners to the fanconi-like symptoms that dogs are reported to experience when sickened by whatever could be in the chicken jerky. VIN says the increase in reports could also be due to an increase in awareness.
